The NRIC or the National Registration Identity Card is a identity document used in Singapore. There is a prefix (S,T,F, or G) depending on the status of the holder.
- Singapore citizens and permanent residents born before the year 2000 are assigned the letter "S".
- Singapore citizens and permanent residents born in and after 2000 are assigned the letter "T".
- Foreigners holding employment or student passes issued before 2000 are assigned the letter "F".
- Foreigners holding employment or student passes issued in and after 2000 are assigned the letter "G".
Finally, there is a suffix, a checksum letter calculated based on the prefix and the 7 digit serial number. This is based on an algorithm that is not publicly available, however, you can use the tool below to "calculate" the suffix of any NRIC number.
